Mauro Ranallo: 'MMA needs a promotion like Bellator'

"Inside MMA" host Mauro Ranallo says he understands "the method to the madness" of Bellator's odd main event bookings, and thinks the company is exactly what the sport needs right now.

Bellator MMA is continuing to make a big push in 2016 to become a true superpower in the combat sports world, expanding into kickboxing and taking the show into international waters. "Inside MMA" host, Mauro Ranallo, believes that this year could be a very important one for the promotion, and while he does not like some of the freak show matchmaking that gone on, Ranallo sees the rationale behind it.
